Non-notable. A minor creationist writter. I googled his name and only creationist and anti-creationist websites mentioned him. No reliable secondary sources cited in article. Northwestgnome (talk) 17:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: minor creationist who has neither made any significant contribution to, nor achieved any notoriety in, the creation-evolution controversy‎, and does not rate even a passing mention in the major books on this topic. HrafnTalkStalk 17:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. It seems that the (albeit essentially self-published) books make him a public figure, and therefore subject to informational inquiries. Doctor + published creationist + creationist nuisance establish notability. Immediately prior to afd this article was larger, and I've restored it to that state. Weak keep if people below this vote disagree. –MT 19:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Here is a source for a review of his book:
 * Traynor, Lee. "What Evolution Isn't: Creationism's Straw Men." Skeptic 12, no. 1 (September 2005): 91-94 Abstract: The article reviews several books on evolution including "What Darwin Didn't Know: A Doctor Dissects the Theory of Evolution," by Geoffrey Simmons and M.D. Eugene, "The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Towards God," by Lee Strobel, "Origin of Life: Biblical and Evolutionary Models Face Off," by Fazale Rana and Hugh Ross, and "The Design Revolution: Answering Questions about Intelligent Design," by William A. Dembski.
 * Keep seems to have a following and mentions in creationist/intelligent design circles. We66er (talk) 16:06, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
